Hi,
Note the following: in latex, setting of mathematical material is
__substantially__ different from "normal" text. For example, the Greek letter
phi can be entered as φ into xelatex, but is then not treated as a 'special
mathematical' symbol. Math symbols are grouped into several categories:
I think you will have to redefine all those parts of the environments dealing
with fonts. Can you send a minimal example of what you want to achieve? In my
case, \addfontfeature yields "undefined control sequence".
There are many packages which already take care of these things for you, such
as

Sorry if this is a common question, I've searched high and low for the answer.
I am writing a scientific paper with math terminology. It would be
nice to directly enter some math symbols directly into the
text-editor. For example, the characters

Hi Ross, thanks again for all your help on this. This makes things a
lot clearer; I didn't really understand how xunicode worked, I guess.
It might well be worth the effort to make a mapping file for tipa
input after all.
Thanks again.

Re-write these environments. The fontspec documentation shows how to
create a whole family of differently coloured fonts.

Hey,
I want to set a different font for differnt environment. Actually I'm
interested in changing fonts in section titles, but also colour in
footnotes. Should I use "\renewcommand"? I've tried it when changing
colour globally for footnote, but xelatex compilation freezes.
My sample:
\renewcommand

I guess it depends on the target audience. The Latex Companion is a good
resource because it is written by experienced users, rather than maintainers of
the packages. So I suppose we come to the point of "User Manual" and "Reference
Manual". With all the tools available nowadays (doxygen, docstr

Hi Wilfred,
I know the missing-manual problem all too well (I work at a research lab)...
I agree that it would be better if a developer (or developing team)
releases a proper manual. But indeed the open source model is such
that __anybody__ can write a manual if you really want to.
